Los Angeles serves as the backdrop for a tense journey that begins with two flight attendants, Jenny and Paula, who are preparing for their flight to Nashville. At the airport gate, they encounter George, a frequent flyer, who dismisses Jenny's friendly gestures as intrusive and controlling. As the passengers board the plane, we meet an eclectic mix of characters, including Captain Forrest, co-pilot Wilson, and a variety of passengers like the elderly couple Bev and Sylvester (who struggles with Parkinson's), and a germophobic couple, Nial and Susan.
As the flight takes off, chaos erupts when Ralph, a heavyset golf player, is bitten by one of Henry's hamsters, which leads to his rapid decline. The situation escalates as Ralph begins to foam at the mouth and vomits on Jenny, causing him to lash out and attempt to reach the cockpit. Quick-thinking passengers like Preston, Henry, George, and Paula manage to subdue him, but Storm clouds of tension gather as communication with air traffic control suddenly fails during the landing at Las Vegas Airport.
Once on the ground, the chaos intensifies when Ralph wakes up and brutally bites Paula on the nose, prompting Shilah, an Army Medic on board, to take swift action. The situation is grim as Paula loses blood rapidly. Tensions rise when the plane is placed on lockdown amidst fears of a contagion. The group learns they are being quarantined due to the possibility of infection, leading to desperate measures as they try to escape the locked terminal.
Ed, a baggage handler, aids them in getting access to an employee entrance, while the group attempts to subdue Ralph, who has become more ferocious. From here, the narrative unfolds in a spiraling chaos as the infected begin to multiply, turning friends into foes. The passengers unravel a scenario that suggests they are dealing with a form of "super-rabies," which spreads through bites and results in a zombie-like transformation.
The group’s struggle for survival becomes increasingly dire. They grapple with suspicion as accusations arise, particularly aimed at Henry for allegedly bringing the infection onboard. As infected individuals begin to rise among them, yet another tragedy strikes when Louise’s cat, previously exposed to the chaos, turns on her, sending the survivors into a frenzy.
In a desperate bid to survive, they find themselves facing armed officers from the CBDT, who complicate their escape further. Amidst betrayals, death, and emotional breakdowns, they navigate the wreckage of their fellow passengers, attempting to hold onto their humanity while the infected close in. Shilah and the remaining survivors discover lethal truths about Henry's dark intentions, which link back to a disturbing cult intent on unleashing chaos using a rabies virus.
As they firm up their resolve to escape, the surviving members face harrowing attacks, losing friends along the way while scrambling for solutions in the abandoned terminal. Jenny makes a heart-wrenching choice to confront the infected, planning a final showdown with Henry, who is now fully under the influence of his own twisted plans.
They make one final play for survival, but the cost takes its toll. In an emotional climax, Jenny is infected, leaving George to face the eerie solitude as he escapes alone, grappling with the overwhelming losses and the haunting realization that survival may come at the expense of his humanity.
As the film closes, the narrative shifts to Louise’s cat, hinting at an even darker resurgence of the virus, terrorizing the heart of Las Vegas. Jenny and George’s harrowing journey illustrates how quickly civilization can devolve into chaos when survival hangs by a thread.
